NOTE a VVV (visual vertical verse) is a proverbial style shape poem inspired by A R Ammons 'Cleavage and Chasm ' poetry to which I have now applied this new convenient label and an integral title.

CRATER a vvv fragile and volatile lie suppressed emotions denied 'neath the volcano of frustration CANYAN a vvv high wide and handsome the chasm of emptiness that fills viduaged hearts ETERNAL PAUSE a vvv soft spoken voiced musings freed verse lingers in the ear dwelling for a moment VIDUAGE beauty youth yesterdays dreams todays remains dressed in widows weeds
